Grease and Grease 2 sort of were oppo-trope. I mean, the goody-two-shoes kid had to don black leather to get the girl/guy and win.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
erika, what if it's "Hallelujah"?
It would be cool to do a make-over sequence that didn't put people into vanilla (from a Hollywood standpoint), but made them more themselves, if that makes sense.

Sandy could have dressed in sackcloth and as long as she sang "You're the One that I Want" like that she still would have gotten the guy.

Always Anti-fascist!
You know, the first few times, I was really moved by the "Hallelujah" montages...they just went to the well so often, I'd not be surprised if it's a soap commercial now. I actually kind of liked the makeover in "Clueless" though.

Movie Title Oddity: Currently there are four separate movies playing in San Francisco with the numeral "9" in the title: 9, District 9, $9.99, Cloud 9.

RIP, Henry Gibson.
I'll need to have memorial screenings of Nashville, The Long Goodbye and The Blues Brothers, methinks.
We must be doing something right to last two-hundred years!
